In the aftermath of AI agents going rogue, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has called on the U.S. corporate leaders to join a country-focused industry group to address the risks posed by advanced technology.
The outreach, which began in July, has been made to over 40 companies across financial services, energy, water, utilities, telecommunications, airlines, railroads, and other critical infrastructure industries.
Vocal about his views on the economy, regulation, and technology, Dimon is among a small group of executives publicly warning about the growing perils of advanced AI systems. His initiative builds on an existing one that JPMorgan Chase co-founded, the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure (ACI), according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Established by Mastercard and Berkshire Hathaway Energy, among others, the organization aims to coordinate cross-sector resilience planning, share information, and respond to critical infrastructure threats, including cyber, physical, and geopolitical risk.
On July 21, OpenAI confirmed its AI agent had breached Hugging Face’s production infrastructure during an internal cybersecurity evaluation. This prompted rival Anthropic to review its own cybersecurity evaluation, which revealed that three incidents, out of 141,006, saw models access the internet from within or while interacting with the evaluation environment of its partner, Irregular.
According to Dimon, ACI leadership predicted the need to prioritize AI “years ago and got critical infrastructure companies working together.”
“We are proud to support this important work,” Dimon said, according to Reuters.
Recently, Dimon revealed that ACI’s executive chairman, Tom Fanning, had set up the group a long time ago. “I am like a support cast member,” Dimon said to CNBC. “This group will help both give advice and take advice from the government.”
ACI is committed to protecting the systems Americans rely upon. The CEO and ACI are slated for talks with other prospective members in August to discuss collaboration.
